The route consists of riding by the river. All participants must descend from their horses to undertake a walk towards the mountain and towards the waterfall. We will cross hanging bridges and climb steps to reach the waterfall. Upon reaching the waterfall will be enough time to cool down in the water of the river. Once reached the waterfall we head for a sloping hill afterwards we go down and in this section is where you have to jog a little.
Upon arrival at the ranch there will be a delicious meal, you can enjoy delicious fajitas or chicken with a rich guacamole and Mexican sauce prepared by yourself, handmade tortillas beans and rice. This is the ride you will never forget.
